Crucifix broken???

[Atuuri5]

For several different games in a row we have put crucifixes down and covered room space where the ghost is, and it has still hunted every time without breaking the crucifix. All types of ghosts, no cursed item used. Bugged???

Depends on how you've placed it. T1 in particular has a very small radius, so if you place it in the middle of a room, then the corners might still be uncovered. Higher tier crucifixes have less of a problem with that, but bad placement or a big room can still allow the ghost to hunt. And obviously when the ghost roams out of the rooms you've placed the crucifixes, they can still hunt.

So you need to describe the situations a littlebit more, preferably by checking the distances with the range while playing the crucifix and it would also help to explain, where the ghost hunted from (like not just the room, but where in relation to the crucifix).

Like I said, we made sure the room was covered. At least 3 of the instances I watched it begin the hunt within 2 feet of a crucifix. I always check the circle when placing using F key.

Unless you somehow had a cursed hunt and you're using Tier 1 or 2 Crucifix's. Like your friends were messing with you.

Other than that it's possible the ghost initiated a hunt while roaming, so it actually started outside the room. If you're 100% saying you saw exactly where it appeared when the hunt began, and it was in the crucifix's range, then that definitely sounds like the game isn't working as intended.

However more often than not in these situations something else has occurred which the player hasn't noticed having an affect, and everything is actually working as intended.

Same thing here, we had a banshee hunt outside its ghost room, and the ghost room was completely covered by crucifixes, so it does happen.

More likely than not the ghost has just wandered out of the ghost room and started a hunt else where.

What type of ghost did it end up being? Ghosts like Banshees and The Twins have different mechanics vis a vis spawning during hunts

I have now had 4 instances where a hunt occurred within a crucifix. I've watched two and had two that I know were within full crucifix range. I know they are non-cursed because I play solo.

How do you know exactly? That's always what this comes down to. Having something occur which challenges an understanding of the game often results in people thinking the game is broken. More often than not the answer is because of a misunderstanding of the parameters. We've all been there, frustrated with the game not operating as intended just to discover, or potentially discover, an alternative game-working-as-intended answer.

My crucifixes work all the time, as intended, to the point where I seemingly only get hunted if I want to be. I wish you all the best figuring this out.

Thats cool you havn't experienced the bug yet.

Most of the time mine do as well. I seen the ghost spawn, assumed it was an event because it spawned next to a crucifix and proceeded to die.

Skill issue.

^literally happened to me last night lmao, but I assume it’s because of my placement. I wasn’t able to get the entire space covered, so I did my best. I had one last objective to complete too: prevent a hunt using a crucifix. I debated so hard in my head on whether or not to try it because I was doing so good already. I even finally managed to get a ghost pic that run (most of my games during that session, the ghosts just did not want to trigger an event (while I actually had the camera to snap a pic with)).

"And since it works in my game there is no possibility of it being broken or jank in other games."

It appears that sometimes the ghost just doesnt feel like following the games rules.
I had the ghost flat out ignore a crucifix every now and then.

It is definetly some early access jank being hard at work here but at least for me everything works as intended most of the time.. well apart from sound issues atm.
